April 27, 1944 In Labor History: FDR Seized The Sh*t Out Of Montgomery Ward (Wonkette)
The fascinating story continues at the link. I was unaware of this action against Montgomery Ward’s CEO during WW2.
Just saw the giant Monkey Ward building(s) while on an architecture tour of downtown Chicago. Frickin’ MASSIVE.
They were the Amazon of their day. Complete, it seems, with a messianic founder filled with steely determination to strip all basic dignity and humanity from his workers.
Fuck that guy.
